Video: Netizens up in arms after 10 wheel truck demolishes roadbridge used by students

Thai netizens were up in arms after pictures were posted online of school children using a badly damaged stairway of a pedestrian roadbridge in Phuket. 

 

The children were seen crossing the road to school amid a tangle of metal and masonry following an accident on Saturday. 

 

A video on Newshawk Phuket showed a ten wheel truck veer towards the left of the road and into the stairway before careening across the road and sideswiping another vehicle. 

 

The roadbridge - used by children at Muslim Withaya school - has now been sealed off.

It appears that anybody that wont's to be can "drive" a commercial vehicle in Thailand? from my understanding their is no special training or licence required, just some vague ability to arrive at point B after departing point A! & make as much noise as possible while hogging the outside lane on route!

Lucky no schoolkids were using the stairway when it happened.

That's some fancy driving.

Nah, normal Thai u turn procedure!

So when are the authorities going to rebuild the foot bridge and how do the children get across the 8 lane high to school?

Put a zebra crossing there.

No actually there is additional training for driving a 10 wheel truck. Note he was not in the passing lane like the overloaded pick ups with modified engine billowing black smoke and inadequate braking whould be. 

 

I wonder do they expect those children to no use the bridge? Then maybe they need to install a traffic cop to assist the children crossing that busy road!

For that to work safely it would require an armed military who, being armed, will force drivers to stop and obey the law for a change.
